	sports a much friendlier user interface.

	<li>Position reporting: the node inspector window now displays the node's playback
	position in SMPTE format.  Position reporting has been disabled for video-buffer
	producers that read from files (the video-file players and/or codecs in BeOS R4.5.2
	don't take well to repeated querying about their position.)<br>&nbsp;
	<li>Improved tool-tips.

<tr valign=top><td></td><td><b>Fixed Bugs:</b><ul>
	<li>Broken ToneProducer sawtooth waveform.
	<li>Groups not split when the sole connection joining them is broken.
	<li>No default group for video input node(s) (which keeps you from starting them.)
	<li>Thread-control variables not declared <code>volatile</code>.
</ul>

<p><b>B_RECORDING:</b> support for filtering live streams from physical inputs
has been vastly improved.
</p>
<p><b>Workaround:</b> on the BeOS R4.5.2, some nodes for audio-input hardware (such as the emu10k) stop 
responding when requested to stop.  Physical-input nodes cannot be stopped for now
(once the node has been started, the group inspector 'Start' and 'Stop' buttons will
have no effect.)
